Jones v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAppellant Carl Jones was convicted of felony murder and other crimes in connection with the 2015 shooting death of John Jones. On appeal, Appellant contended the trial court: (1) erred in denying his motion to suppress certain evidence collected from his back yard; (2) abused its discretion in failing to properly question and remove a juror who disclosed mid-trial that she went to school with one of the witnesses; (3) erred by refusing to permit Appellant to cross-examine a witness about her pending criminal charge; and (4) that Appellant was entitled to a new trial due to the cumulative effect of multiple errors at trial. Finding no reversible error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed Appellant's convictions.
